Hello everyone, I am new to microcontrollers and programming. I am wondering what everyones thoughts on Pololu's Orangutan SVP-1284 microcontroller are? Is it a quality board? On a scale from 0-9, 9 being difficult, 0 being easy. How would you rate the Orangutan for beginners? Also could someone direct me to a site that teaches microcontroller programming in c, using AVR Studio. Thanks.
